Ghost Detectives in the Detective World

Judging from its eager appearance, it was clear that if the girl made the slightest movement, it would pounce on her immediately.

Caught between Ghost Knight and John, attacking either side would inevitably lead to an attack from the other.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then suddenly threw down the sickle in her hand.

"I surrender!"

"You're quite sensible."

Matsuda stepped forward and took a closer look at the girl's clothes.

"Miss, are you dressed as an Egyptian dancer?"

"What Egyptian dancer!"

The girl retorted angrily, "This is clearly a witch's outfit!"

"A witch's costume? So Egyptian witches dressed like dancers?"

Matsuda chuckled and said, "So, you're a witch?"

"Hmph, what exactly do you want?"

The girl glared at Matsuda and warned him.

"Don't blame me for not warning you! A witch's dying curse can never be removed. If you dare to do anything filthy to me, I'll kill myself right now and curse you with my soul before I die!"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in teenage girls," Matsuda shook his head.

"Nonsense! In this world, except for one guy, all the other men will... wait, why aren't you reacting? You should be captivated by me!"

The girl stared blankly at Matsuda, her face full of confusion.

“Young lady, it’s better for girls not to be too narcissistic,” Matsuda replied, barely suppressing a laugh.

What's wrong with this witch?

Although she is indeed quite beautiful, what does it mean that any man who sees her will be captivated?

This isn't just narcissism, it's downright insane!

"I understand, you're definitely not a man..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, she felt a sudden tightness in her chin—it was Matsuda!

With a dark expression, he pinched the girl's chin and said sullenly, "Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you want me to show you what a real man is right now?"

The girl quickly shook her head.

Matsuda snorted coldly, naturally not going to hold a grudge against her over a single sentence.

After releasing his grip on the girl's chin, Matsuda asked, "By the way, what do you mean by 'what do I want'? I was just about to ask you why you've been harassing and attacking my friend."

Chapter 145 Koizumi Akako

"Your friend?" The girl paused, then snapped, "You mean that fat bastard? He's already dead, but he's still haunting Yoko Okino. Shouldn't that kind of evil spirit be exorcised?"

"Evil spirit?"

Matsuda paused for a moment,

"Who told you he was an evil spirit? That guy was Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend when he was alive. After he died, he was just temporarily protecting Yoko Okino as a guardian spirit. How did he become an evil spirit?"

"Guardian spirit?" the girl stammered. "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true! That guy even made the news when he committed suicide!"

Matsuda could tell that the girl's surprise didn't seem faked; she had clearly genuinely mistaken Teng Xiangming for an evil spirit.

No wonder she kept pestering him, wanting to kill him.

"What about the soul you caught last night? How is she now?"

Although it is already known that Teng Xiangming's matter was a misunderstanding.

But Hoshino Terumi's soul still resides with the other person.

Matsuda remained vigilant and continued to press for answers.

“I have carefully preserved that woman’s soul,”

The girl reached into her collar and pulled out a necklace.

A small human figure can be vaguely seen in the purple crystal below the necklace.

To convince Matsuda, she simply took off the necklace and stuffed it into his hand.

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"

Matsuda picked up the necklace and examined the crystal closely.

This time I can see it clearly; the little figure trapped inside the purple crystal is indeed Hoshino Terumi.

It seemed that because Matsuda was too close, Hoshino Terumi inside the crystal also noticed him and was pounding on the crystal wall while shouting loudly.

Although Matsuda couldn't hear what she was shouting, he could roughly guess the situation from the current scene, so he softly offered a word of comfort.

"Miss Hoshino, don't worry, everything will be alright soon."

Hoshino Terumi inside the crystal must have heard it, because she nodded and stopped tapping on the crystal wall.

“This woman trusts you a lot,” the girl next to her sighed. “I’ve told her many times that I will definitely get her soul back into her body, but she just won’t believe me.”

"If someone stabbed you for no reason, and then that person told you they would take you to the hospital and cure you, would you believe them?" Matsuda asked irritably.

“But you can’t blame me entirely!” the girl complained, pointing at the Ghost Knight. “If this guy hadn’t been chasing me so closely, I would have sent this woman’s soul back long ago after I realized I had made a mistake.”

"You mean my men were meddling in other people's business?" Matsuda sneered.

"No, no," the girl said awkwardly.

If the Ghost Knight hadn't arrived in time, she probably would have killed the innocent Teng Xiangming long ago.

The girl knew this in her heart, but judging from her appearance, she obviously didn't usually bow her head.

This time, even though he knew he was wrong, he still stubbornly refused to admit it, clinging to his pride.

"And now? Can her soul be returned to her body?" Matsuda asked.

Matsuda had never done anything like extracting the soul of a living person and then putting it back in.

While you could ask the system, it's not as convenient as asking the witch in front of you directly.

"Of course I can let her soul return to her body! Who do you think I am, you witch!"

The girl raised her head and snorted.

"I even wasted a fine amethyst to ensure that her soul wouldn't be damaged when I sent it back to her body."

The matter concerning Hoshino Terumi has also been clarified.

Matsuda carefully put away the purple crystal necklace that held her soul, then waved his hand, signaling the Ghost Knight and John to leave.

After seeing this, the girl lowered her guard.

Her first thought was one of heartache as she lifted her long dress and looked at the hem that John had torn.

"It's all that fat bastard's fault. He was standing in the crowd with a lewd look on his face, which made me think he was an evil spirit haunting Ms. Yoko."

"So you kindly helped Miss Yoko exorcise the spirit?" Matsuda asked, amused.

“I’m not a fan of celebrities, how could it be for her?” The girl shook her head. “It’s just that a friend of mine likes her and often goes to her concerts. I was worried that she might run into that evil spirit someday, so I took action.”

After speaking, the girl suddenly looked up and carefully examined Matsuda.

"That's strange, why do you look so familiar?"

After tilting her head and thinking carefully for a moment, the girl suddenly screamed.

"Aren't you the Metropolitan Police Department officer that Aoko used to teach Kaito a lesson last night?"

Qingzi? Kaito?

These two names sound familiar.

Matsuda was also taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked the girl's name.

"I am the rightful heir to the Red Magic, a witch named Koizumi Akako!" the girl proudly announced.

really……

I was wondering how a narcissistic witch could suddenly appear in this otherwise wonderful world of Detective Conan. Turns out she came from the world of Phantom Thief Kid.

Only after realizing that the witch before him was Akako did Matsuda completely lower his guard.

The witch before me was somewhat narcissistic, proud, and unwilling to admit defeat.

Overall, he can be considered a good person.

Having confirmed this, Matsuda waved his hand.

The Ghost Knight, which had just vanished into thin air, reappeared and then disappeared directly into Matsuda's shadow.

"You..." Hongzi was startled. "You actually made that ghost knight become invisible and hide next to me?"

"It's just an insurance policy in case you suddenly make another move," Matsuda said casually. "Alright, now come with me to the hospital and send Ms. Hoshino's soul back to her body."

"As an Onmyoji, can't you do it yourself?" Hongzi complained in a low voice.

"This is your own doing, you have to take responsibility for it!" Matsuda scolded, frowning.

Matsuda didn't bother explaining why Akako thought he was an Onmyoji.

The Ghost Messenger System was his biggest secret, so it was impossible for him to explain it clearly to Hongzi so soon after they met.

Anyway, he never admitted that he was an Onmyoji.

Seeing Matsuda frown, Akako assumed he was angry. Somewhat reluctantly, she gave a reply and strode towards the villa entrance.

She took only two steps before stopping, looking at Matsuda warily.

"Where's your shikigami, that spirit dog? It's not like that ghost knight, hiding around me invisibly, is it?"

"As long as you don't make any unusual movements, it naturally won't appear,"

Matsuda replied coldly, then urged her to leave quickly.
